Good/bad idea to upgrade all packages to backports?
Hi,
$ cat /etc/debian_version
11.2
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
[...]
After this operation, 3,933 kB of additional disk space will be used.
vs:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade -t bullseye-backports
[...]
Need to get 233 MB of archives.
After this operation, 67.4 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Is it a good idea to upgrade all packages to backports? Will that make
it easier to upgrade the system to next stable when it comes out? Or am
I asking for trouble?
